Ring over pupil distorting vision

Since New Years day I have had the after effect of a transparent ring covering the center part of my vision. It distorts my sight and I have to squint to get my eye to make the correction. When I changed my contacts after New Years I thought it would go away but now I think I may have scratched the pupil area since it has not gone away on its own. Do I need to get glasses and wear them until it heals or might be something else all together?

Google Weiss ring and look at the pictures. Maybe that's what you have. Good luck.

Dear Hawk77,

I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD to determine the cause of the “ring” you notice.
